World champion of 2014 Germany is actively preparing to defend the title in Russia. Germany's national team coach Joachim Low announced two weeks ago an expanded roster of 27 players for the World Cup.
However, only 23 footballers will be able to travel to Russia, and J. Low is already preparing to make a decision. Germany will play a friendly match against the Austrian national team tomorrow, and Mats Hummels and Thomas Muller will not appear in these games. These footballers can be reassured about their place in the team.
J. Low revealed that they no longer have any questions and he also doesn't want to bother the players who had a long season and whom he has seen many times. Manuel Neuer should also appear in these matches, returning after a serious foot injury.
"Hummels and Muller have played with us many times before, so we know what to expect from them. That's why they won't play against the Austrians.
For players like Sami Khedira, who didn't play much at the end of the season, this is a great opportunity. Of course, one match should not influence the final decision, but there are several aspects that can help make the decision.
There are things you can learn about certain players by watching their game in a friendly match. Players who receive bad news will be disappointed, it's completely natural," said Germany's coach.
